Igor, i would like to know also the "why" i should use NB instead of other choices.
There are none? ;) If you mean "Why should I use an FFI built on top of NB over FFI/Alien?" that's an entirely different matter. NativeBoost (a smalltalk assembly DSL -> machinecode generator/executor) itself does not have any equivalents (that I am aware of at least), but the things you can build on top of it do.
Yes, it is not yet-another FFI. It opens a lot more doors, and FFI is one of the closest ones, which already open :) -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
